Three Men and a Cradle (1985)

Three Men and a Cradle (1985)
Member Rating:  
A trio of inept bachelors receives an unexpected lesson in the challenges of fatherhood when a young infant turns up on their doorstep in this popular, appealing French comedy. The child was unknowingly fathered by one of the roommates, but the mother, who had relationships with each man, leaves no hint as to which one is the father. Even worse, she's flown off to America, meaning the clueless Pierre, Jacques, and Michel must work together to take care of the adorable infant. As one might expect, most of the film's comedy concerns the men's reluctant adaptation to fatherhood, as they become increasingly attached to the child and compete to become the best father. The film's good-natured if familiar humor was welcomed with strong box office, numerous award nominations, and an American remake, Three Men and a Baby. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

This is full of French humor, a little debauchery, and is a lot of fun. The American remake isn't nearly as good, since it had to be 'cleaned up.'

While I liked the Hollywood version of 3 Men and a Cradle, it ultimately was a little too twee for my tastes. The French got it right the first time.

Evil has a name, and that name is French Cinema. I wouldn't wipe up after my little puppy "Skittles" with this movie. I was hoping that the "drug Content" referenced in the rating was actually included in the box, but alas it was drug free - which is what I suggest you NOT be when you watch this vessle of excrement.
